We are thankful to the Italian
Expeditions and Explorers with wham’s Excellent work the world attraction
composed to these mightily peaks. However Achille Compagnoni Lino Lacedelli.
The first climber of K-2 and Harman Buhl, the first climber of Nanga Parbet
cannot be forgotten until and unless the mountaineering Expedition will exist,
Or those Expeditions who have climbed these peaks con not be forgotten in the
next Generations until when this interest will end.

The pride has been received by many
Pakistanis, which the majorities are from Hunza valley.
Most probably there are many Pakistan or European, young generation, who are
interested to climb these peaks, Due to Economic reasons they cannot
afford. The future of these are very bright for tourism industry to help
people in the Remote Area in Asia.

It is true that the Economy can be up
graded with tourism industry in Asia as well as in Pakistan.

Summits in Pakistan more than
8000-M high – 137 Summits more than 7000-M high

Abdul Jabbar Bhatti, the great Pakistan mountain climber upon his return said at Islamabad Airport, “I’m really happy to have hoisted our national flag atop Mount Everest. These are proud moments for me,”.

It was notable that there were no government officials, or anyone from the Pakistan Sports Board there to receive the mountaineer at the airport.Sleeping without oxygen at over 8,500 metres

Upon his arrival, an experience & skilled Pakistani climber Bhatti spoke to BBC Urdu and Dawn News about his ordeal climbing the world’s highest mountain.

He revealed that his porter, instead of taking three bottled oxygen tanks, carried only one, resulting in a serious shortage of oxygen. Surprisingly, Bhatti said this meant he was forced to spend one night at a height of 8,500 meters without any oxygen.

Bhatti’s porter had previously said via Facebook that the retired colonel insisted on scaling Everest, despite his repeated requests to back down because of bad weather.

However, Bhatti refuted the porters claims. He told BBC Urdu; “The porter asked me to stand down when we were still not very high up the mountain. I asked him why he wasted my time and money if he couldn’t scale the mountain. When we reached closer to the summit, we ran out of oxygen and the weather was also becoming unfavourable. That’s when I told him we should go back down, but he insisted we should climb to the top.”

On his way back down, Bhatti was in dire need of rescue. Thanking God, Bhatti revealed that five individuals helped him get back down from 8,600 metres to safety.

Before arriving in Islamabad, Bhatti underwent one week treatment at a hospital in Kathmandu.

“The way I was assisted by the people there is indescribable,” he said.

Bhatti, who himself managed the finances of the Rs6 million trip, said he was thankful to the people of Pakistan as right from the outset of his voyage they had been praying for his success and safe return.

Bhatti, however, was not alone in this historic journey.

His companion Mohammad Saad’s abandoned journey.

His companion, Mohammad Saad, who had embarked on the trek along with Bhatti, was forced to abandon his attempt to summit Mount Everest for the sake of his injured fellow climber.

“The expedition manager said it would be better if I called off my attempt to summit Everest and assist my fellow Pakistani climber, who was in dire need of medical assistance,” Saad told Dawn over the phone from Kathmandu, the disappointment palpable in his voice.

It is pertinent to mention here that Bhatti has successfully scaled Broad Peak (8,051 metres high) in 1985; Gasherbrum 2 (8,035m) in 1986 and Spantik Peak (7,027m) in 2012.

Fairy Meadows, named by German climbers (GermanMärchenwiese, ″fairy tale meadows″) and locally known as Joot, is a grassland near one of the base camp sites of the Nanga Parbat, located in Diamer District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. At an altitude of about 3,300 meters above the sea level, it serves as the launching point for trekkers submitting on the Raikot face of the Nanga Parbat. In 1995, the Government of Pakistan declared Fairy Meadows a National Park.

Fairy Meadows is approachable by a twelve kilometer-long jeepable trek starting from Raikot bridge on Karakoram Highway to the village Tattu. Further from Tattu Village, it takes about three to four hours hiking by a five kilometer trek to Fairy Meadows. The grassland is located in the Raikhot valley, at one end of the Raikot glacier which originates from the Nanga Parbat and feeds a stream that finally falls in the River Indus. Since 1992, locals have operated camping sites in the area. We at Happy Holidays PK being a local tour operator in Pakistan provide the best & cheap travel packages to northern areas of Pakistan.

Neelum Valley (also spelled Neelam Valley) (Urdu: وادیِ نیلم ‎) is a 144 km long bow-shaped thick forested region in Azad Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistan Administered Kashmir. It is named after the Neelum river, which flows through the length of the valley.

The valley is situated in the north-east of Muzaffarabad, running parallel to Kaghan Valley. The two valleys are only separated by snow-covered peaks, some over 4,000 meters (13,000 ft) above sea level.

The valley is connected from Muzaffarabad by Neelam road, which leads up to Kel. The road condition from Muzaffarabad to Athmuqam is very good and suitable for any kind of transport. From Keran to Kel road condition is not well and not suitable for low floor vehicles. In winters road onward Keran is blocked due to heavy snowfall and it is very difficult to reach upper parts of the valley.
